In August 2011, American Laboratory opened its doors to readers to submit images for our covers . Our readers look forward to the cover image every month. Now they have a chance to guess what the image is. Starting off the year with a new twist, guessing the cover image will let them become more interactive, as we poll our readers and visitors here on our blog.

Leave us your guess in the comments.
Stay tuned for the answer and for next month’s cover issue!
